Georgia added 32 players from 7 different states on Wednesday and Thursday. A breakdown of the Bulldogs’ “target zone” is below:
Georgia = 18 recruits
Florida = 5
Mississippi = 4
Virginia = 2
Indiana = 1
North Carolina = 1
South Carolina = 1
In-State Signees = 56.2%
Out-Of-State Signees = 43.7%
Observation:
First, the bad news. Nine of the top 10 prospects in the state of Georgia — including four 5-star prospects — decide to migrate out of the Peach State this week. Now the good news. The state is so deep in talent the Bulldogs still signed 18 local products and still wound up with a class ranked in just about everyone’s top 15. UGA owned the state just two years ago and the Dawgs’ recent success would lead one to believe things would have stayed the same. But this looks more like a one-year glitch to us than some sort of beginning-of-the-end scenario. Mark Richt faced one of those on the field a couple of years ago. He’s gone 22-6 since. Don’t be surprised to see Georgia owning its backyard again by next February.
